Velier & Scheer Clarendon Plummer Tropical Aging EMB
Most enjoy the intense nose, long warm finish and dry, woody Jamaican character. Critics find the alcohol too aggressive, bitter and one-dimensional for the price. Consensus: solid, technical, not crowd-pleasing.
Hardcore Jamaican fans and technical rum geeks who enjoy dry, high-ABV, ester-driven Clarendon with lots of wood, peppery heat and minimal sweetness, especially in slow, contemplative sipping or small pours.

You have to drink it with caution. The almost 70% alc. have quite a bit of bang. In the finish nice woody and dirty. I'm missing a little support from fruit sweetness in the finish. Otherwise, this is a really good Monymusk for the PRICE.
Auto-translatedtoo much ester. but good to drink in coffee or tea 😉
Auto-translatedOverall a great rum with a fantastic nose as well as a fantastic finish that I got a sample of from my youngest son a month ago. It’s a blend of rum from the Clarendon Distillery selected by Velier and E&A Sheer from casks with rum distilled 2002, 2004 and 2006. It’s bottled 2020 which gives it’s 14 years old. It’s a pot still destilled rum, tropical aged on site in Jamaica with an ester level of 324.5 gr/hlap which gives that it’s a “Plummer" (EMB) category of the distillery. The nose is complex, smooth, round, fruity, oaky and nutty. At the palate it’s still complex and you can feel the ABV. After a while and during the long finish you recognize the esters, the fruitiness and all the other aromas as tastes.
as if you would chew with fishermen's friend in the mouth on completely burnt nutmeg overloaded mashed potatoes and then suck on the leather chair and then on the bicycle hose.... goes me not at all purely...in addition just extremely sharp and alcoholic and penetrating...the whole series of this experiment is for me an absolute failure. have to cough at every single despite >1h breathe due to the Poorly integrated alcohol and the face contorted 😣
